**DO WE HAVE TO STATE ALL THE ADDRESSES

Company(ex-employer) provided us apartments at the Headed quarters . As part of consulting and I had to travel to different addresses and often those trips extended to months.

Most of my time (In the whole 13 months , that I was employed with the company), I lived at company apartments at the heade quarters.

There are 3 other addresses that I am concerned about.

I have lived at one adress about 3 months, and filed tax for that State.

At a second address I had to live for about 2 months , but did not file taxes. since the stay, I knew was temporary, I used address of a friend(a third address) of mine and had to Pay taxes for his state.

So I have 3 more places now to include(again my stays were less than 3 months).

I checked with my attorney, and she says, I do not have to include the short stays, as they can be defined as 'Short Trips' not residence. She also said that a person can be physically in one place and NOT be a resident there.

The attorneys statement goes like this:

'I do not think they want to know about those short stays and that they have any access to those information , if one choose not to specify it'.

Also she specified that, Q.25 means primarily about the previous entry to the US , OR residence in the US. So one can give emphasis to either the 'ENTRY' or the 'Residence', and not both.

I respect the openion of the lawyer, however Since you guys are Gurus, after spending a whole lot of your time researching, and having personal experience about immigration, Please post your thoughts here.

It will be of a great help to myself and the rest of the future immigrants.

Thanks for making this forum a great source of information.

I had listed only those places where I had stayed for more than 6 months. Even though I had filed taxes from a particular address (again, since I was nomad I had used my friend's address for filing taxes) and didn't mention it is DS 230 part I.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Ganesh.
